About our wedding Mexican catering in Playden
We can do the wedding breakfast, evening food, or the two together. One option is a taco bar for the main meal and tacos or nachos later on. At big weddings with every diet and engagement parties at home, we can serve evening tacos, tacos and quesadillas.
A wedding in a small place like Playden often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Playden
Could you come to a seaside event near Playden?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What does wedding Mexican catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
